I grew up in Vietnam and immigrated to United States when I was 9. I have been living in California since. I am gay and currently studying Public Health at UC Berkeley. I look forward to going into medicine and hopefully be able to serve the Asian American immigrant population. Besides my career aspirations, I love love love to travel and explore. I don't like doing touristy things, unless if its the only option. I love the concept of backpacking and living the simple lifestyle. I have little traveling experiences. My latest trip include a 4 month backpacking trip around South East Asia by myself. It was the best decision I have made in my life. I look forward to more traveling adventures in my near future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to find locals along my traveling journey to get the most out of traveling. besides finding a place to stay during my travels, I would also love to host like-minded travelers in Berkeley. I would love to learn from you as you get a dip into the Berkeley culture. If time permits, I would love to show you around the university and the city.

Interests

I love to discuss about health injustices, out doors, exploring places alone, online shopping, gossiping about a cute boy I just met. Most things can get me interested. haha.
